CD-ROM means Compact Disc - Read Only Memory

CD-R means Compact Disc - Recordable

If you go out and get a "CD Burner" then Microsoft Windows - in most cases -
will properly recognize it and already has the software that enables you to
burn files to it. But these machines usually are sold with drivers and
software that provide a full suite of capabilities including disc copying
etc. etc., which you probably will want to install.

If you do go out and get a "CD-Burner" don't waste your time with just CD ..
get a "DVD burner" which are usually backward compatible with CD-ROM/R/RW
discs .. plus are capable of handling the various DVD media .. ask the
retailer. Now there are DVD burners that can also do labelling as well , a
technology called "LightScribe", you may want that feature.
